    Having read a scathing review in a local newspaper after having already booked (had to wait nearly 6 weeks for available table), I was a little apprehensive. I had nothing to worry about and quite frankly we had a lovely meal with great service. On arrival, yes we did have to look at the chalkboard menu and order there, but that added to the charm of the place. When seated we were presented with a wooden platter of Various home baked bread which was gorgeous. I had the Pork Terrine to start with with perfect accompaniments of sliced pickles, toasted onion bread, and mustard. Ray with cockles and black butter was cooked to perfection and I had the dessert of Cream Cheese Ice Cream with Pear Puree, Meringue and Ginger cake crumbles which was divine. We all had different selections and there was not a single dud dish, service was excellent and we were in no way rushed. All the food was presented beautifully and I woudl definately remcommend and will certainly go back.

    Was recommended to us so we stayed in Whitstable for a couple of days and went to the Sportsman for a meal. We was very disappointed with the service. We walked in and had to choose our meal from the chalk board at the bar, felt rushed. The food was good but not over exciting. The Duck was fatty, but the only good thing was the rhubarb sorbet. Wouldn't go there again in a hurry.

    Yes the building is shabby but the food and the service are most definitely not. We had a starter between us as we do not eat loads at lunch. The blackened mackerel was full of fresh flavour. The roasted belly pork was the best I have tasted. The young staff were courteous and unobtrusive. We have paid far more for much less quality. We will definitely be going to The Sportsman again.

    A very tatty building in a bleak location. The interior was not much better. Staff were either disinterested or supercillious. The meal was one of the worst I have ever eaten - in fact, I couldn't eat the main course. My so-called mussel and bacon chowder starter turned out to be a small dish of tepid pea soup with a couple of tiny, forlorn mussels and two small strips of very fatty pancetta. My main course of crispy duck was soggy and fatty rather than crispy, served with a rather pointless no ...
